About Pastel
Pastel is a popular fried pastry commonly found in Brazilian cuisine, with origins influenced by Portuguese and Asian culinary traditions. Typically served as a snack or street food, it features a thin, crispy dough made from flour, water, and oil, filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, seasoned beef, chicken, or heart of palm. Sweet versions often include fillings like chocolate or banana. While its flavorful fillings can offer some nutrition, such as protein or fiber depending on the choice, pastels are generally high in calories and fats due to the frying process and refined dough. Opting for fillings with vegetables and lean meats can make it slightly healthier, but it should be enjoyed in moderation as an indulgent treat rather than a staple. Baked variations offer a lower-fat alternative for those seeking to reduce their intake of fried foods.
